::::*{{u|Yoninah}}, actually, on second read, I think you're right - her lobbying efforts definitely helped get African American pilots into service, but the Tuskegee Airmen in particular are only credited to her training (I think it's both, but I only have sources for training).

Willa Brown
- ... that Willa Brown was the first African American woman to earn a United States pilot's license? Source: [1]
- ALT1:... that Willa BrownTemplate:`s efforts to train African American pilots in the United States led to the creation of the Tuskegee Airmen? Source: [2]
- ALT2:... that Willa Brown accomplished several historic firsts and she could fly?
Improved to Good Article status by Creffett (talk) and Atsme (talk). Nominated by Creffett (talk) at 13:02, 14 April 2020 (UTC).
Approved for ALT1 as my favorite hook. Article is newly promoted enough, hook is hooky and cited, no close paraphrasing, most sources are online, paywalled and offline sources accepted AGF.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 00:25, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote ALT1. The hook fact, which connects her training these pilots to the formation of the Tuskegee Airmen, is verified by both footnotes 5 and 6. However, in the lead, the text says that her lobbying efforts led to the formation of the Tuskegee Airmen. The connection is written correctly in the body of the article. Please amend the lead per the sources. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:35, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Template:U, actually, both are accurate (or at least there are sources that say both things - some credit her lobbying, some credit her training, from my research doing the article I think that both are probably valid).
